* Lookup a String key to a String value.

* This class represents the simplest form of a string to string map.
* It has a benefit over a map in that it can create the result on
* demand based on the key.
*
* This class comes complete with various factory methods.
* If these do not suffice, you can subclass and implement your own matcher.
*
* For example, it would be possible to implement a lookup that used the
* key as a primary key, and looked up the value on demand from the database

/**
* Looks up a String key to a String value.
*
* The internal implementation may use any mechanism to return the value.
* The simplest implementation is to use a Map. However, virtually any
* implementation is possible.
*
* For example, it would be possible to implement a lookup that used the
* key as a primary key, and looked up the value on demand from the database
* Or, a numeric based implementation could be created that treats the key
* as an integer, increments the value and return the result as a string -
* converting 1 to 2, 15 to 16 etc.
*
* The {@link #lookup(String)} method always returns a String, regardless of
* the underlying data, by converting it as necessary. For example:
*
* Map map = new HashMap();
* map.put("number", Integer.valueOf(2));
* assertEquals("2", StrLookup.mapLookup(map).lookup("number"));
*
* @param key the key to be looked up, may be null
* @return the matching value, null if no match
